NaBloPoMo again

I have just realised that if yesterday was Halloween then today it must be November and I remembered thinking there is something I was planning on doing in November, I just couldn’t remember what.  I was almost asleep when I suddenly remembered – NaBloPoMo.  I did it last year and enjoyed it.  I was still pretty new to blogging in this space so it was challenging to write every day but I did it and had some fun.

Of late I have lost my blogging groove.  I feel like all I do is a quick blow by blow rant about my day.  No insight, no commentary just a boring old itinerary of how craptastic some days really can be, so much so that I almost checked the psychotic ranting/anonymous foaming button for blog category when I registered.  I chickened out and am listed simply as ‘general’.

Visit NaBloPoMo

I am hoping that during this month I will dig myself out of this itinerary funk, finish some stories that I have started and join in some new themes to keep me busy in my 3.2 seconds of spare time that I have to blog.  So there I go, committed to posting every day for the month.

Weekly Winners #7 – Happy Halloween

Halloween really isn’t a big deal around here but all the kids know about it and want to get in on the action.  However I really don’t want them wandering around the neighbourhood begging for treats.  There was an organised group of people trick or treating that we could have joined but they weren’t starting until 7 and that was going to equate to another really late night.  Instead we had a picnic in the park with anyone who wanted to join in on the fun.  We hid lollies in the garden beds for a treasure hunt, had scary food and watched dozens of kids run around in costumes having fun.  It wasn’t a typical Halloween celebration but it was fun.

This is girl-child normally.

And now girl-child as Elphaba from Wicked.

Happy Halloween.
